Winchelsea, Medieval market town in East Sussex, England.
The town occupies an elevated position between the High Weald and Romney Marsh, featuring grid-patterned streets and medieval stone buildings.
Edward I ordered the construction of New Winchelsea in 1288 as a replacement for the original settlement, which was destroyed by coastal floods.
The parish church of St Thomas the Martyr contains a collection of stained glass windows depicting religious scenes from the 13th century.
Winchelsea railway station, located north of the town center, provides regular connections to Hastings and Ashford International on the Marshlink line.
The town maintains an extensive network of medieval wine cellars beneath its streets, forming the largest collection of such structures in England.
